# FontFor
[![license-badge]][license-file] [![version-badge]][crates-io-page] [![ci-badge]][github-actions-page]
Find fonts which can show a specified character and preview them in browser.
This is port from my early python script called [which_fonts_support][which_fonts_support-github], but with some improvements:
- 🛡️ Write in Rust, without unsafe. Safety
- 🚀️ Mmap to load font file. Fast
- 🚀️ Only parse font table we need, not all bytes of font file. Faster
- 🖥 Support preview in terminal and browser. Friendly

cargo install -f fontfor
```
Or download binary from release page.
